5
A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
6
He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.
7
An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth.
8
He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial.
9
The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.
10
The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.
11
He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
12
He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
13
The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
14
The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
15
If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back.
